A Shiloh Community group teamed up with Bountiful Cities Project to build a community garden in the Shiloh community.  A-B Tech instructor Heath Moody has been working with Bountiful Cities for several semesters with their bird house auction/fund-raiser, and he was excited to use the pavilion as a Carpentry I class project.

 

It provided a great framing exercise for students in the program and got some press coverage with Asheville Citizen-Times.

Students love the opportunity to get out in the community and put the skills they’re learning in class to use.  Community gardens provide a great outlet for neighbors to socialize while growing organic food, and the pavilion will provide a place for community cook-outs and other events.
